Police Recruitment Exam : The UP Police Recruitment and Promotion Board is going to have its largest ever constable recruitment exercise in which 6.48 million candidates will vie for 60,244 posts.
The board said that the written re-examination for direct recruitment of constables in the civil police would be conducted over two shifts daily from August 23-25 and August 30-31, with an average of about 480,000 applicants in each session.
In addition to this, there were found out to be total number of one thousand five hundred forty-one members of examination mafia who had been caught cheating during exams in last ten years by both UP police & STF. The district has a total of sixty seven districts that has established approximately a total of one thousand one hundred seventy-four examination centres which are headed by ADMs and ASPs.
It was however cancelled because the question paper leaked out on it leading to a re-exam announced. To this day, roughly four hundred individuals across the nation have been detained relating to the leakage. UPPRPB Chairman Rajeev Krishna said they only chose government-managed or government-supported institutions as test centers so as not to compromise the integrity of tests.
“For a period of five days,” he added, “approximately six point nine million students will sit for these exams at around eleven hundred and seventy-four locations in metropolises.” According to him, each district has got two nodal officers (ADM and ASP) whereas SPs would also be available at every center along with observers from among ASPs and DSPs.
However, the officer mentioned that all security matters had been taken into account including “information security”.
“All our forty eight lakh applicants have gone through Aadhaar verification,” stated Ms Krishna. “We found about twenty thousand students under suspicion which means that they are required to come there 150 minutes before start time for their identity confirmation and if passed through the writing test, all of these students will be watched until they leave,” he explained.
To stop any fraud, eKYC systems will be available at centres and candidates would be undergoing post examination verification. The board has cooperated with the police and STF to take preventive measures and alerting aspirants about fraud or scam networks on platforms like Telegram. In order to make every applicant aware and cautious, alerts have been placed in the Board’s website as well as social media accounts. On August 23, the exam admit cards can be downloaded.
